In Response To: Re: Squat flexibility problems (N. Pelter)

Stand facing a wall with shoes off. Put the toes of one foot against the wall and then keeping your heel flat try to push your knee to the wall. If this is easy back up one inch and try again. Keep moving back until your heel wants to come off the ground. You will probably feel pressure in the font of the ankle and possibly some gastroc tightness(Eric, thats your calf!!). Once your as far back as you can go try to touch the wall with your knee 10 -15 times,switch legs. As you go you should be able to move back further and further. This is a movement that should probably be done evert day to maintain joint range of motion. Remember, joint mobility is different than flexibility, make sure you are not just stretching your calves.

Good Luck,
Rene
